The Book of Days is a slow burn, really allows you to sink into Adhemar Ahmad's world as a writer and bookseller in NYC. It's got this gritty, almost intimate feel that draws you in, especially as it captures his struggles with getting 'Hannibal Barca' published over seven long years. The pacing is deliberate, letting moments breathe, which I think highlights the weight of his creative process. The documentary aspect feels raw, with a sort of DIY aesthetic that complements the themes of passion, perseverance, and the harsh realities of the literary world. Adhemar's candid reflections on his journey give it a unique personal touch that sets it apart from other docs. It's fascinating to see this blend of art and reality unfold.
